"All the people working at FDA right now are thinking about this vaccine as if it's one they want to take, they want to have their families take and then have our extended family in the U.S. take," Peter Marks, director of COVID vaccine approval team (CBER)
"This is really important. We are only going to get there if we take vaccines together. This is a time we need to rebuild our trust in vaccines. And we hope by the transparent process that we're using- by going to an advisory committee in the public view...
"People will see nothing is being hidden. That when we say at FDA that these are safe and effective, it means we've done our best to make sure they are safe and effective for all of us to roll up our sleeves and take." - Marks #SleeveUp #VaccineSummit
"We all need to bring this [COVID] crisis to an end together. And getting vaccinated is kinda the first step...
"What we have now: we can wear masks, we can wash hands, we can stay social distanced. With a vaccine, we can finally help drive [COVID] away -- and have it go the way of smallpox -- to be something that's only in high biocontainment laboratories....
"And that's only going to happen if a large fraction of eligible people take the vaccine." - Marks/FDA #VaccinesWork #CovidVaccine
